This invention relates to a machine tool, and has for its principal obj ectthe provision of a generally improved construction which is more practical, eflicient and satisfactory in operation thanany heretofore known.

It is an additional object of the invention to design a machine tool which is especially adaptedto mill automobile axles rapidly and accurately. v

Another object of theinvention is to provide improved mechanism for adjusting'the milling cutters of a machine tool.

It is a further. object of the invention to provide improved driving, mechanism' for Still another object is to provide improved tableand for clamping it in the desired position, as well as for clamping the work'to the table. r 1

It is a still further object of the invention. to provide improved mechanism for raising and lowering the work supporting table to bring the work into cooperation with the tools, as well as novel means for controlling the mechanism for raising and lowering the table. I

It is also an object to provide a machine tool with a work support adapted to hold a plurality ofpieces of work, this supportbeing movable in one direction to determine which piece of work shall be acted upon by the tool, and in another direction to bring the moving parts ofthe machine, and e'smechanism for moving the'work supporting chine I omitted fer line of the machine;

the selected piece of work into actual cos operation, with the tool.

With hes'e and other nds in view, the

invention comprises the structurejand combination of parts which'will appear more clearly from the following description-when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the novel features being pointed out in the claims following the description) Y r 1 u In the drawlngs. a v: Figure 1 is a front elevation of, a-machine illustrating one possible embodiment of the lnventlon; i o I Figure 2 isan end elevation thereof; t Figure 3 is a plan thereof;'-' Flgure l is a fragmentary plan illustrating the mounting of the milling cutters and part of the drive mechanism therefor;
